"Five Long Minutes Have Transpired Since My Amazing Facebook Post and Not One Person Has Liked Or Commented"

 

 

 

"So obviously I'm irrelevant. I don't think I can go to work today. I don't think I can even go on with my life."

My friend, it's time for a Facebook Intervention. The research on this subject is frightening. 

Can Anyone Recommend a Soft Gel Silicon Skin for My iPod 160GB 7th Generation?

 

 

It's confusing reading reviews. Some say brand X is great while others will say brand X doesn't fit. I'm flummoxed. If anyone has definitive recommendations, please let us (me, in this case) know. 

Thirty dollars or so sounds reasonable.

Dan Gives Kudos to John Gruber for Getting the Apple-Mike Daisey Story Right

The best commentary I've read regarding the Apple situation is by John Gruber of the website Daring Fireball:

"I caught much shit about this from critics, who posited that my lack of analysis or coverage of Daisey’s claims was proof of my hopeless bias in favor of Apple, no matter the evidence. But the thing is, Daisey’s supposed stories always set off my spidey sense — one guy claiming things that no one else was claiming or reporting, all uncovered during a single six-day trip to China by a man who doesn’t speak Chinese and with no prior investigative reporting experience. Ends up my spidey sense was right: Daisey made it up."

John Gruber is perhaps the leading writer covering Apple. Check out Daring Fireball for more on how this story is developing, lots of good stuff there. Also check out the website Techmeme - it's a kind of news aggregator for the tech industry.
